General Product Information
Basic Information On Thermal Imaging Technology
Thermal imaging technology is a contactless imaging procedure that
makes it possible to see the thermal radiation from an object or body
otherwise invisible to the human eye (mid-wavelength infrared).
Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted by a body
based on its temperature. It is caused by thermal motion within a
body’s molecules. This is the result of accelerated charges that emit
radiation in accordance with the laws of electrodynamics. Thermal
imaging technology captures and displays temperature distribution
across surfaces and objects. Thermographic cameras usually display
heat intensity information in artificial colors (blue = cooler, red =
warmer). In terms of the number of pixels, the resolution is considerably lower than that for cameras capturing the
visible spectral range.

Unlike cameras with optical image sensors, one of the decisive quality criteria for a thermal camera is the camera’s
ability to capture the slightest differences in temperature and to produce an image that displays these differences
in colors. The NETD, or Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference, is used to measure the sensitivity of a thermal
sensor and is expressed in millikelvin. With an NETD of 50 mK, MOBOTIX thermal cameras can visualize temperature
variations starting at 0.05°C , which places them in the top range of cameras currently available for general use.

Thanks to an NETD of 50 mK, the MOBOTIX thermal image (left) shows significantly more details than a competitor’s less powerful
thermographic camera with an NETD of 100 mK (right).
Respecting Privacy
The detected thermal profile of a thermal camera shows no identifiable details for identification of persons and can
therefore guarantee privacy. As soon as an object is moving into the relevant surveillance area, MOBOTIX dual
camera system can automatically switch from thermal sensor to the optical sensor, producing visible high
